Chapter 487 Protest
"Eighty thousand... You see, I have to bear all the legal fees for my cousin's case.

In the past few years, the business has been difficult to do. I have a big shop and I am very tight on cash... Can this work? I will give you [-]. I still have a lot of French Lafite treasure dry red wine in the wine cellar of my villa , I'll get you eight bottles, what do you think? "Liu Min rolled his eyes.

Fang Yi defended well in the first trial, and Zhuang Wenjing was found not guilty. Liu Min was very satisfied, and she felt that the lawyer's fee in the first trial was worth it.If the other party appealed, she felt that her cousin's case had a high probability of winning in the second instance, and it would be more confident to continue entrusting the case to Fang Yi, so she proposed the entrustment of the second instance.

But she doesn't want to pay so much cash. Cash is king these days, and she doesn't keep any money in her hand. She is not at ease, so she came up with the idea of ​​using wine to offset part of the lawyer's fees.

"Two more bottles, ten bottles! Plus 4 yuan in legal fees. But we can only issue you an invoice of 4 yuan, because the cash we received is only 4 yuan." Fang Yi thought for a while.

Fang Yi knew the French Lafite treasure dry red wine that Liu Min mentioned. He and Li Shuming drank it in Brilliant before, and he also heard from Li Shuming that there are two kinds of Lafite: big Lafite and small Lafite.

Grand Lafite, translated name in China: Lafite Chateau dry red wine.The "82 Lafite" we often say is actually a vintage wine of the dry red wine of Chateau Lafite in France.

The market price of Grand Lafite is generally between 82 and [-], and older ones will be more expensive. Lafite in [-] is relatively famous, so the market price is relatively expensive, generally around [-] a bottle, and the quantity is small, so you need to wait for the goods.

Little Lafite is translated in China as: French Lafite Treasure Dry Red Wine.In contrast, the price of Little Lafite is relatively close to the people, but it is not cheap. The price is about 5000 yuan a bottle.

Fang Yi pondered: Ten bottles of Lafite are worth 5 to [-] yuan. Since the lawyer's fee is offset by wine, it must be rounded up.

"Okay, it's settled like this. Once the other party appeals, I will go to you to sign the entrustment formalities. The lawyer's fee is 4 yuan. I will give you the wine. Then I will bring you to the tea house where Yunmei is placed." Liu Mind Road.

"Okay." Fang Yi nodded.He believed that Liu Min would not lie to him, because she had to continue entrusting the second trial.

A few days after the first-instance criminal judgment was issued, the procuratorate filed a protest against Zhuang Wenjing’s intentional injury case, and the family of Deng Gang, the plaintiff in the attached civil lawsuit, also filed an appeal on the grounds that the facts found in the original judgment were unclear and that Zhuang Wenjing’s actions did not constitute self-defense. Request to commute Zhuang Wenjing's criminal liability and civil compensation liability.

On the day after learning of the procuratorate's protest, Liu Min and Zhuang Wenhai drove to Fang Yi to sign the entrustment procedures for the second trial. Liu Min kept his word and handed over ten bottles of Lafite to Yunmei.

Fang Yi wanted to leave a few bottles for Yunmei, but Yunmei refused.Yunmei thinks that this is the wine that Liu Min gave Fang Yi, and she is not good at plucking her hair. To be honest, her family has a big business, so these few bottles of wine are not bad.

Fang Yi seldom drinks alcohol now, probably because he is middle-aged, he prefers to drink tea.He gave all the ten bottles of Lafite that Liu Min gave to Li Shuming, and after Li Shuming's appraisal, they were all genuine.

Li Shuming knew that it was not easy for Fang Yi to earn legal fees all day long, so he wanted to give Fang Yi a discount, but Fang Yi refused.It is true that Fang Yi helped Li Shuming back then, but Li Shuming has also helped Fang Yi in recent years. People can't always use the past to talk about things, otherwise they will be annoying.

Fang Yi and Zhou Ying were busy again, preparing for the opening of the second trial.

On this day, lawyer Zhao from Hua Liancheng's team came to Fang Yi's office.

"Lawyer Fang, are you free tomorrow?" Lawyer Zhao asked.

"What's the matter? There is no arrangement yet." Fang Yi was looking up the case and asked, raising his head.

"We recently took a criminal case. The case is not big, but I disagree with several lawyers in the team on the issue of the victim's wrongful identification. I would like to invite you to discuss it together." Lawyer Zhao said.

Hua Liancheng's non-litigation team is better than Wankefa's team in terms of non-litigation expertise, but the litigation area is weaker.This is also impossible, and it has to do with the bosses of the two teams.

Hua Liancheng came from a non-litigation background. When he was a partner in the red circle in his early years, he worked on many IPOs and mergers and reorganization projects. Later, out of trust, clients also approached him for their litigation business, and he set up a litigation department.However, he has never been able to find like-minded, capable and highly professional litigation lawyers. Therefore, the professional level of the litigation lawyers in his team is neither high nor low. Every time he encounters a problem, he always asks Wankefa for help.

Wan Kefa was born as a litigator. In his early years, because of his rebellious personality and discord with his parents, he went to Beijing to practice law. After three or four years of experience in the capital, his father caught him by the ear and forced him to marry his current wife. .Later, with the help of his professional ability and the relationship with his parents and parents-in-law, he soon gained a firm foothold in the local area.

Wankefa's professional ability is not boastful. In the past few years, there are many major and important cases handled, and many cases have become the guiding cases of the Supreme Court for reference and application by various courts.

Wan Kefa has been a visiting professor at many well-known universities in the local area and in the capital, where he lectures on corporate law and criminal law, which is very influential.It's just that these years, because of my age and poor health, I turned down the employment, giving people a feeling of being disarmed and returning to the field.

Fang Yi knew a little about Wankefa, mostly from Lao Huang when he was chatting nonsense with him.

"No problem. What time is tomorrow? Please send me a copy of the case information first, and I will study it first." Fang Yi readily agreed.

Fang Yi knew that Lawyer Zhao was more pragmatic and didn't like those empty-headed things. Since he said to discuss the case, he must be discussing the case, and he would not make a bunch of messy things in it.

Fang Yi is not the Holy Mother, colleagues help each other, many friends have multiple paths, maybe one day he will use others, and his path will become wider and wider in the future, this is his true thought.

"I'll bring you a copy of the case files in a while. Tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, let's go upstairs. I've already reserved a meeting room," said Lawyer Zhao.

In the afternoon of the next day, in the conference room of the law firm, lawyer Zhao and others from Fang Yi and Hua Liancheng's team were looking at the projection.

"The case we are discussing today is a case of intentional injury. The defendant we are representing is Li Zhiguo, a villager in the village below the city. The incident happened like this..." Attorney Zhao manipulated the mouse to adjust the projection content while telling the story .

Li Zhiguo, male, 48 years old, from Lijia Village.After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he originally wanted to go to work with his fellow villagers, but because of the inspection by the higher authorities, many real estate construction sites in the city were ordered to suspend work because of formalities.
